Thanks for the props. I dropped a bunch of parts off to the chromer and tomorrow I'm dropping off the wheels to be reconditioned. Tonight I got the rest of the exhaust mocked up so I can drop that off for coating.

Beautiful exhaust, even without the coating.  I wish you were closer, I'd like to go to the school of VileZambonie!

That is one sweet ride Vile, and you are inspirational with a capital I.

I'm sure we all understand the hours and $ that you've put in and it's worth every cent.

Will you trailer it to shows or actually drive it? I'd be sh*t scared a mosqueto would poop on it!!

Keep it going and us updated - can't be long now!!

I will NEVER trailer it unless I'm going to Lebanon Valley. I'm building a weekend warrior that I plan to have til I croak.

I dropped the wheels off today to someone else because the guy I was going to use was all about the $ and I didn't like his cocky attitude. Quite frankly I thought he was a swear word so I told him never mind, left his business card on the ground and drove away. I drove in the opposite direction to someone else who was awesome to deal with, less expensive and will do twice the work. I decided I'm going to powder coat the wheels. I'm sick of dealing with bare aluminum so this should be interesting. I hope they turn out the way I want.

     I wish more people would get treated like this, then maybe customer service would come back like it was in the 50's and 60's.  I am in that field for work and I hate it when people act like you (the customer) should be bringing things to them, instead of them (the service side of the equation) should be giving out excellent service so they can earn more business.
     All I have to say is good for you Vile.

It's all in how you treat people. I go out of my way to be fair and good business up front creates more business down the road. No better way to advertise than by referrals and some people just don't get that.

So I chose the Johnny 5 Silver and was so tempted to go with a metallic but I think it might be too blingy for the look I want. It'll be hard to tell until they're actually mounted back on the truck but fingers crossed.

**PS as I am updating this I figured I'd mention that guy is out of business now most likely because he was a chooch

LOL - I'm going to call them tomorrow and see how they are coming out. I'm still looking for center caps which are tough to find for these wheels.

I had the same issue with a guy i bartered some work with at Paint and Powder Works in New britain, he told me yeah yeah we will blast your truck etc.. i did my end and he blew me off when he had to do his end, needless to say i gave him negative reviews to many industrial accounts i deal with at work. and he had the audacity to ask me for a favor again...

glad to hear you arnt afraid to drive it
